First Release Candidate of Grml version 2014.03 released
by Michael Prokop 24 Mär '14

24 Mär '14

Hi, so we did it again, the first release candidate of the upcoming Grml version 2014.03, code-named 'Ponywagon' was released. This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA jessie). As usual it also incorporates up2date hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release. For detailed information about the changes between 2013.09 and 2014.03 have a look at the official release announcement: http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2014.03-rc1/ Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and report back so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for the end of March (2014 ;)). PS: As you might notice the ISOs increased again (e.g. from ~350MB to 400MB for grml-full), if someone is interested in reducing the ISO we welcome any patches, concrete feedback,.. Thanks to all contributors! regards, -mika- - for the Grml.org project

Typo or missing feature and a basic question
by ha 15 Mär '14

15 Mär '14

I'm new to grml so please excuse me if this on wrong list or similar. Recently I've tried to install debian using grml and I found something that could be a typo: Line 136 of config file: # Run scripts from /etc/debootstrap/pre-scripts/ after setting up chroot. Shouldn't it state "/etc/debootstrap/scripts/" ? In config file I've found extrapackages, but on the man page of grml-debootstrap there is no option extrapackages. Is this intentionally? This option is not implemented or simply not documented? Additionally , I would be grateful for a help on how to use scripts from "scripts" direcotry. My plan was to add a script to compile a program (for instance dwm), however I was unable to achieve this. I'm unsure if this is feasible at all, and whether I'm positioned at the right directory (or how to check that). I invoked command with the -d flag: grml-debootstrap -d FILE Finally, I have troubles at debugging debootstrap stages. If someone would show me how to do that, perhaps I could solve the previous problem by myself. I've read somewhere about install_notes file that could be used for this, but I haven't found much on it - assuming that I understood that correctly. Thanks in advance.

grml-debootstrap VM creation broken due to bug in kpartx?
by adrelanos 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hi! My grml-debootstrap configuration is here: https://github.com/adrelanos/minimal-grml-debootstrap-test (I think it's quite useful to have a single script/configuration around for producing minimal instructions on how to produce that bug.) grml-debootstrap keeps failing for me. umount: /mnt/debootstrap.23035: device is busy I guess it could be because this bug in kpartx: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734794 Cheers, adrelanos

grml virtual machine
by John G. Heim 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

I want to create a custom grml ISO that has a kernel patched for hardware speech synthesiers. There's a bug in the kernel code so most hardware speech synths don't work. If I can put ma custom compiled kernel on a grml disk, I can use it with my hardware speech synth. The man page for grml-live recommends running it on a virtual machine running grml. That sounds like a good idea. I have a VMWare player virtual machine booted into grml from the latest 32-bit iso file. But I am uncertain as to what to do next. Should I use grml2usb or grml-debbootstrap or something else? What's the best way to set up a virtual machine to run grml?

Cannot find code to color by file extensions on an ls
by John 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

I just opened a new bug report (http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue1286) wherein I ask to have some file extensions added to the list to color red on an `ls` but find myself clueless where exactly this "color these extensions red on an ls" resides. The only thing I can find in /etc/zsh/zshrc begins on line #3116 but I do not understand it. Can someone point me to where this list is defined? My request should be as easy as adding the new extensions to some array I would think. Thanks!

J'ai pens? ? utiliser des machines virtuelles pour d?l?guer ? chaque machine virtuelle une portion sp?cifique du syst?me ? assurer. Cette id?e est n?e d'un poisson d'avril (April's fool joke) qui annon?ait le projet Canterbury, visant ? r?unir le meilleur de 5 distributions Linux dans une nouvelle distribution. En tant que chr?tien, je suis tr?s sensible aux poissons d'avril qui ont pour objectif de se moquer des chr?tiens. J'ai donc choisi ces 5 distributions et j'ai fait un prototype de test 64 bits: - Archlinux pour l'interface homme-machine et la virtualisation - Gentoo pour la compilation - Grml pour les entr?es-sorties - Open-Suse pour les applications - Debian pour les applications 32 bits et la mod?lisation L'id?e sous-jacente ? ce projet, c'est un module noyau ? d?velopper qui permettra de router les appels syst?me vers chaque distribution en fonction du type d'appel syst?me et du r?le de chaque distribution dans le syst?me. Le pattern MVCA (Mod?le= donn?es, Vue=ihm, Controleur=noyau, Action=application) est utilis? entre Archlinux, Grml et OpenSuse. Le filtrage de contenu s'effectue entre les applications et les vues gr?ce au module noyau qui intercepte les donn?es ? filtrer et les dirige vers un filtreur hors noyau. Le filtreur applique des outils sur les donn?es pour d?cider si elles seront autoris?es ou non. Pour d?velopper le filtreur, un nouveau langage, Pmal, est ? cr?er. On a besoin d'un nouveau langage qui doit ?tre capable de faire ?voluer ses programmes sans avoir ? les interrompre. Ce langage sera bas? sur du typage fort, pour assurer la s?curit? du syst?me. J'ai imagin? un langage de glue pour faire ?a. Il s'agit d'un langage qui fait un usage important de la r?flexivit?: il connait ses constituants et peut agir dessus. Il est bas? sur le principe des conteneurs l?gers: les classes composantes sont assembl?es par inversion de controle. Chaque composante ne connait pas avec quel composant il sera reli? dans les conteneurs l?gers. Exemple: un objet A est reli? ? un objet de type D sur lequel il invoque une m?thode b pour imprimer. A ne sait pas de quelle classe est l'objet de typez D. De D, 2 classes h?ritent: B et C, pour 2 imprimantes diff?rentes. Chaque classe B et C poss?de un objet M?thode impl?mentant la m?thode b. Cet objet M?thode porte des attributs "tags" qui le d?crivent. Par exemple B a un tag "600dpi" et C a un tag "300dpi". Lorsque A demande a ex?cuter b, b est intercept? par le conteneur l?ger qui va filter les candidats possibles en fonction des tags. Finalement, le conteneur l?ger choisira B pour optimiser la qualit? d'impression, sans que A se soit jamais dout? de rien. On pourra aussi avoir un objet proxy qui intercepte les requ?tes b et les envoie de mani?re asynchrone. Ou encore, un compteur d'appels de m?thode incr?mental pour d?tecter les boucles infinies et les r?soudre en analysant le code invoqu? et en proposant une approximation si elles tendent vers une limite. Par exemple on pourra r?soudre le paradoxe de Z?non: Achille et la tortue font une course : Achille va 2 fois plus vite que la tortue. Chaque fois que Achille parcours la distance qui le s?pare de la tortue, celle-ci parcours la moiti? de cette distance. Ainsi une nouvelle distance plus petite les s?pare... La r?cursion est infinie. Si on compte les appels r?cursifs avec une interruption par exemple au bout de 10 it?rations, en analysant le code on peut d?duire que la limite tend vers 0 et retourner cette r?ponse comme approximation et mettre fin ? la boucle. Si il n'y a pas de limite on interrompra aussi la boucle pour ?viter un engorgement syst?me. Avec le niveau d'abstraction o? une m?thode est un objet on pour attacher cette m?thode ? un seul objet sans l'attacher ? tous les objets de sa classe, ? des fins de tests. Une fois test?e, cette m?thode pourra ?tre g?n?ralis?e ? toute la classe. A ce moment, la m?thode sera intercept?e par un proxy, puis mise en place, puis activ?e en d?bloquant le proxy, permettant ainsi une ?volution du code et des classes du programme sans interruption. De plus, bien que fortement typ?, ce langage pourra ?tre ex?cut? par du javascript, du fait de son niveau d'abstraction : les objets, les classes, les attributs et les m?thodes sont tous des objets manipulables. Actuellement, je dispose d'un prototype faisant fonctionner les 5 distributions ensemble. J'ai presque termin? le compilateur pour les m?thodes du langage en Java 1.5. Il faut d?velopper l'ensemble du langage Pmal, le module du noyau pour router les appels syst?me et aussi un gestionnaire de paquets pour l'ensemble du syst?me avec les 5 distributions.

I might completely misunderstand everything here. It might even be that this whole thing is an April's fool that went wrong (in regards to the calendar, that is). Just a few random thoughts from my side follow anyway. chris21.roux(a)free.fr wrote: > Le projet "J'ai l'inux" vise ? proposer une distribution Linux > capable de filter les contenus notamment pornographiques, pour > une utilisation ? l'?cole. If I understand this correctly, you want to filter out pornographic material at school, and the target is to create a linux distribution for this application. Answer from c.roux: ******************* I want to filter pornography and other perversions, based on content analysis, so this explains why I need a new distribution: it is not possible to analyse an image content at network level. The MVC pattern allows to filter content at the moment when the application sends the image to the view, inside the whole system. I developed a multi-virtual machines system in order to have one for the application, another for the view and a third for input and output, allowing to filter at the communication level between the virtual machines. ******************* > Pour filtrer les contenus, il est n?cessaire d'intervenir ? > l'int?rieur du syst?me pour intercepter les contenus ? filtrer > (on ne peut pas intervenir au niveau des trames r?seau car ? ce > niveau les contenus ne sont pas interp?tables). If I understand this correctly, you thing you can only do this on the system itself, because you think it's not possible to intervene at the network layer. Well, actually, it is. If you connect your systems to the internet via a firewall, you can block everything you want. You can also install a transparent proxy, and your proxy may well be able to filter content. You could use junkbuster for this. > J'ai pens? ? utiliser des machines virtuelles pour d?l?guer ? > chaque machine virtuelle une portion sp?cifique du syst?me ? > assurer. Of course you can use virtual machines for what you want to achieve, but it seems unnecessary here. > Cette id?e est n?e d'un poisson d'avril (April's fool joke) qui > annon?ait le projet Canterbury, visant ? r?unir le meilleur de > 5 distributions Linux dans une nouvelle distribution. So your idea is born from an April's fool joke, but in the end, it looks like one itself. > En tant que chr?tien, je suis tr?s sensible aux poissons > d'avril qui ont pour objectif de se moquer des chr?tiens. For this sentence, I needed google's translate in order to possibly make sense of it, but then I quite don't. "As a Christian, I am very sensitive to April's fool jokes which aim to make fun of Christians." Well, as a Christian I don't see how this "5 Linux distributions now become one in the Canterbury project" aims to make fun of Christians. Furthermore, there are quite a few possible explainations on how the "April's fool jokes" emerged, but none of the ones I know particularly targets at Christians. You might to choose to explain this sentence again (in English) so that I might have a chance to really understand what you wanted to say. answer from c.roux: ******************* The origin of April's fool jokes is based on 1st of April day, close to Easter. On that day, people stick a fish (symbol of christans) on the back of christians. The joke is the following: try to make beleive false things to those people, in order to discredit christians as people who beleive everything even the resurrection of Christ. ****************** > J'ai donc choisi ces 5 distributions et j'ai fait un prototype > de test 64 bits: > - Archlinux pour l'interface homme-machine et la virtualisation > - Gentoo pour la compilation > - Grml pour les entr?es-sorties > - Open-Suse pour les applications > - Debian pour les applications 32 bits et la mod?lisation So you use 5 distributions in order to do 5 different jobs in one single project. I believe this is an April's fool joke just because it seems so stupid to select 5 different methods of administrating your systems (all those distributions use their own toolset for configuration, apart from Grml and Debian, as Grml is built on top of Debian) just in order to use all of them in one single project. answer from c.roux: ******************* This idea is defined in the April fool's joke: try to use the best of each distribution as specialized in a specific task. ******************* > L'id?e sous-jacente ? ce projet, c'est un module noyau ? > d?velopper qui permettra de router les appels syst?me vers > chaque distribution en fonction du type d'appel syst?me et du > r?le de chaque distribution dans le syst?me. If I understand this correctly, you want to route systems calls to each distribution dependend on the role of the distribution in your project. Somehow, that doesn't make any sense to me. answer from c.roux: ******************* Can you explain why? ******************* > Le pattern MVCA (Mod?le= donn?es, Vue=ihm, Controleur=noyau, > Action=application) est utilis? entre Archlinux, Grml et > OpenSuse. > > Le filtrage de contenu s'effectue entre les applications et les > vues gr?ce au module noyau qui intercepte les donn?es ? filtrer > et les dirige vers un filtreur hors noyau. Le filtreur applique > des outils sur les donn?es pour d?cider si elles seront > autoris?es ou non. Seems you also want to create a kernel module to decide what to intercept when. I don't see how this should be necessary. answer from c.roux: ******************* Can you develop. Any save of time is interesting me. ******************* > Pour d?velopper le filtreur, un nouveau langage, Pmal, est ? > cr?er.

J'ai imagin? un langage de glue pour faire > ?a. For the filter, you seem to want to create a new language (which you call Pmal) that should be able to intercept what a program does without actually disturbing the program. Sounds like "let's reinvent something like strace, but add the possibility to change the system calls' return values on the fly". That's actually something every virtualisation does in some way or another, but not for filtering content, but for intercepting and filtering hardware access. I still think it's better to use junkbuster and friends. answer from c.roux: ******************* I am not a wizard. If I post this message, it is because I need help. ******************* [language specification ideas deleted] > De plus, bien que fortement typ?, ce langage pourra ?tre > ex?cut? par du javascript, If you want to run a language in javascript, you usually aim at running the stuff on the browser end. You should be aware, however, that at the browser end, the USER is in control and can modify your stuff however HE sees fit, especially circumventing any blocking or filtering that happens on that level. answer from c.roux: ******************* Can javascript be used outside a browser? ******************* In the end of the day, I still think I didn't understand what you really want to achieve (no wonder, as I didn't use French in 20 years), but if I understood any of your intentions correctly, I just would think twice if there isn't an easier way to achieve your goals. answer from c.roux: ******************* Thanks for your advices, and I hope to convince you to join the project. ******************* Bye, Thomas -- Thomas K?hler Email: jean-luc(a)picard.franken.de <>< WWW: http://gott-gehabt.de IRC: tkoehler Freenode: thkoehler PGP public key available from Homepage! ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - Grml(a)ml.grml.org http://ml.grml.org/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/ End of Grml Digest, Vol 95, Issue 9 ***********************************
